Beyond expectations

My expectations were low for my case (employee misclassification) against a former employer, but Nicholas did a tremendous job answering all my questions and easing my doubts, and I felt confident that he'd get the job done. His team went beyond my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better... outcome.

Great law office

I was very impressed with how well Nicholas took on my case. I had submitted a request online and was only submitting an inquiry not thinking my circumstance would be taken seriously. Nicholas took on my case, kept me well informed about my options and made sure I understood what was going on. His of...fice made the process so easy with being so versatile in area they cover, being able to communicate via email and phone. I strongly recommend this law office to anyone with work related needs.

Trust in the Law and the little guy can come out on top

When I contacted Blumenthal Nordrehaug & Bhowmik I didn't know what to expect. I didn't even know if I had a case. The I spoke with Nicholas de Blouw I explained to him my complaint about Circle K. He decided to take a look at my case. His staff and him kept in contact with me at all times. I have ne...ver met Mr. de Blouw in person. I have only spoken with him on the phone or email. As a personal note. I would like to say form the bottom of my heart thank you. You may think your just a little guy in your law firm. But your not and sometime the little guy can win. Thank you for taking my case.

Fair, Friendly, Experienced and Knowledgeable

After coming to realize I had been taken advantage of by my former employer, a friend advised I speak to Nicholas. I was skeptical at first as I had never had any legal issues and I really didn't know what to expect. After meeting Nicholas, I knew I was in good hands. He was friendly, knowledgeable,... and really made me feel secure in his care. I was really worried that I was going to have to do a lot of paperwork, meetings, and other legal actions, but Nick assured me it would be painless and easy. Sure enough, Nicholas and his partners were able to avoid court and obtain a fair settlement. Everything they said held true! They did all the work, and I really only had to show up for the very final step. I was awarded with over $10,000 and, more importantly, I feel super satisfied knowing that they made the right thing happen for me and the system in general!
